When you consider what happened at the Euros, this was always going to be a difficult period for the squad so that is why the result against Scotland was more important than the performance.

We scored the third goal from a set-piece which was good but there is a lot more work to do.

Up front, it would be good to see Marcus Rashford play as a centre forward rather than out on the wing as he has done for Manchester United.

Equally, Jamie Vardy has not been starting regularly for Leicester and he will also be looking for a longer run-out compared to his 15 minutes against Scotland. It is now 14 games for club and country without scoring a goal.

I am sure Jack Wilshere will feature as he also needs another game after completing 90 minutes in three successive matches for Bournemouth.

Southgate knows a number of the players from his time with the Under-21s

He does things the right way such as how he handled leaving Rooney out of his starting team for the match in Slovenia.

Gareth knows that as a squad, we are what we are. There are players in the squad who do not play for their clubs and this is a problem.

He knows what to say and what not to say. This is a massive opportunity for him but there is still a lot of improving to do and it will be a tough job for him.

No one expected us to win the Euros but we should have done better against Iceland as we were hopeless.
No one realistically expects us to go and win the World Cup in Russia in 2018 so it is a case of us improving.
